Nerds are by definition outsiders. If you think differently, loose yourself in fiction or history, or do something strange that the "normies" can't categorize, you're certain to find yourself walking a more solitary path. Lucky us the way ahead has been lit by the luminary nerds before us. Luckier still that we lived in a world with David Bowie, a nerd who transformed our reality into a weirder, wilder, geekier place.Join Cap and Marc With A C, two Bowie-obsessed peoploids, as they share their love of this Lad Insane and personal stories of how the Thin White Duke changed their lives. It's a crash course for the ravers and the novices too with tales from deep in small town record bins and long-forgotten shopping malls, a first-hand account of the longest show Bowie ever played, and strange or little-known facts about the wild-eyed boy from Brixton.

Every other week, The Nerdy Show Network’s flagship podcast unloads on the latest geek news and happenings!Fallout 4 is out now, and frankly it's a miracle that we managed to stop playing it to record an episode, let alone release one. Yes, Nerdy Show is getting lost in the post-apocalyptic Bostonian abyss of Bethesda's latest masterwork. Join Cap, boR, Doug, and Jess as we share our thoughts on the new game and some of our first experiences after stumbling out of the Vault.Even with the momentous undertaking of fighting off Synths and scavenging every last useful piece of junk, the gaming world is positively radiating with news and goings on. We discuss Nintendo's sleeper hit of the season: TriForce Heroes, as well as the latest from Blizzard. The trailer for Duncan Jones' Warcraft film is out and it's been the subject of equal parts excitement, disappointment, and heated debate. We poll the Nerdy Show hosts and fan community for thoughts and then let boR go to work with all the nuanced continuity many of us missed. There's also the small matter of Overwatch, the next big thing from Blizzard which could make all your cartoony science adventure / superhero dreams come true.Tune in for the games and stay tuned for next week as we move on to the rest of pop culture!For links and more info, head to the main episode page:http://nerdyshow.com/2015/12/nerdy-show-242-fallout-of-reality

Ah, the thrill of the hunt. In this listener-requested Microsode the Nerdy Show crew explores the kill or be killed world of the game series Monster Hunter. Whip up some paintballs and pack a whetstone - there's purple dinosaurs to be slain.Join Cap, Brandon, Jonathan and Andrew from Wicked Anime, and Briggs and Wall from Ghostbusters: Resurrection as they roast meat (so tasty!) and share their feels on the wild hunt. Some of them are completely new to the series and need an introduction to what's made these games an international phenomena, decidedly different from your Digimons and your Pokémons. Others are seasoned Monster Hunter veterans with many a monster head mounted on their wall. And then there's Brandon, who's sassy from gin and ready to vent on why he can't stand the games.Does he have a point, or does he just need to "get good"? Thanks to Nerdy Show supporter, Korrik, you're about to find out.For links and more info. head to the main episode page:http://nerdyshow.com/2015/11/nerdy-show-241-microsode-monster-hunter

We're hittin' the arcades and those sticky, day-glo carpets are gonna be blood-soaked! In this episode of Nerdy Show we've mashed up two listener requested Microsode topics: Arcade Games and Fighting Games and we've got so much to say it's gone overtime.Join Cap, Brandon, Jonathan and Andrew from Wicked Anime, and Briggs and Wall from Ghostbusters: Resurrection as we recollect on the titles of our misspent youth in 90s arcades - from classic titles to the most obscure cabinets we can remember. Hear our triumphs in those darkened, hallowed grounds as well as our greatest defeats. Then it's on to that special subset of the arcade that made its way to the home console: fighting games. What's the difference between fighting games, beat 'em ups, and sports titles? What are our favorite games and who are our mains? And what are some of the weirdest early 90s fighters we can remember? All these and more, just INSERT COIN.Thanks to Sean Redd and Hexual for the topics and come see Cap and Aaron at NC Comicon in Durham, NC November 13-15.For links and more info, head to the main episode page:http://nerdyshow.com/2015/11/nerdy-show-240-arcade-games-fighting-games
